[Tashigi greets the world with a smile. She's had some time to get comfortable with the device, and an introduction just seems proper. Especially now that she has a better idea of what she'd like to say. From the looks of it, Sycamore Cycles is in the background.]

Hello! My name is Tashigi, and I'm a recent arrival here. First, I'd like to give a warm thanks to Miss Schnee and the others who've done their best to help me understand the situation we're all in. Thank you very much for the help!

I haven't decided just what I want to do here, but after some recent advice, I've decided I want to learn as much as I can about this place. So, if you're in need of temporary help in a position, please let me know! Until I make my decision, I'm willing to work my hardest on any job that may arise. If you need to reach me in person, I'll likely be staying with V- [Whoops, there's no reason to pull rank here, is there? And she doesn't want to invite trouble with the pirates.]

... with Smoker until I become more acclimated.

[True to her word, Tashigi's exploring Genessia City to learn as much as she can. She can be found just about anywhere, smiling as she just tries to take it all in. She's not sure if it's considered rude to walk around with a weapon, but unless someone tells her so she's keeping her katana on her, just in case.]

[And if she can find a new store to supply her with her favored... colorful shirts? That's just a bonus.]

[By the time she realizes she's well past any part of the city she knows, it's already too late.]

[At least she can read a map, if they find one...]

I... think it's too late to ask them.

[She sighs. Somehow, today has gotten away from her. She might as well make the best of it.]

So, Straw Hat, how long have you been here? Longer than Smoker?

Ah. Oh well.

[At least Luffy has the decency to sheepishly scratch his head.]

Eh...I think Smokey was here first. Tried to catch me as soon as I got here.

I think he's got it out for me. Or maybe has a crush on me.

[So Straw Hat wasn't here for the Battler incident then? ... it makes sense. If something like that had happened with him around, he certainly would have tried to do something.]

[... a crush?! Nothing makes her go from thinking to shock quite like that.]

Y-you must be kidding! A crush? How would you ever get that idea?!

[Luffy definitely wouldn't just sit around if he was there for that Battler incident.]

Well yeah. I mean he's always chasing after me and recently he gave me smores and didn't fight me.

[Though that's more probably because it was in the early mornings.]

I dunno, he's just always showing up where I go, so I gotta wonder.

[She isn't even sure where to start.]

[Also the thought of Smoker giving him smores is somehow adorable.]

I don't think you should read too much into it. And it's not like we have a reason to fight you here - the Navy doesn't have any power.

[Shrugs.]

Doesn't stop him from trying to chase me as soon as I got here.

[A beat.]

Didn't stop you either.

Well, I-

That...

[... why is he right? He's not supposed to be right, but she can't exactly argue it.]

[She sighs.]

I suppose I need to get better at not being a Marine.

[It's like a red letter day! Or shit's going to hit the fan.]

Haha, try being a pirate then!

[It's the furthest thing from Marines.]

[That gets her to sputter and turn bright red in an instant.]

Out of the question! For several reasons! That would be like me telling you to become a Marine!

Bleh...no thanks. Gramps keeps trying that. I don't wanna take orders.

[He wants freedom to do his own thing. The pirate life!]

See? Some things just don't fit. It's just how it is sometimes.

Then I guess we just do something else. Don't have to do just pirate or Marine. Hell those guys at Water 7 are pretty cool.

[Making ships and doing crazy feats of acrobatics is always awesome. Until they turned evil, but hey. Details.]
